It Is a case of knowipjt , w Were to go and how to get the most for your moneys It is the same in New ^prk. The average visitor fo -New York doesn’t expect or wish to economize. He expects kTspend a cer tain sum of money, have a big time, and do any necessary economizing after he gets back home. He goes to the best hotels, or at least the most expensive^ He wants to see the most popular and newest shows, tjiose which make the life of the ticket speculator a happy one. He wants to have an expensive look at the speak easies de luxe, and the more glittering of the night Hubs. These places could not exist without the patronage of vls- ■Itbf*; Not any more than they could in^I’ahs. as* There Is a sray and moneyed crowd In New York. There als«j arc the cruelly poor.

T ODAY'S automobile Is almost en tirely an achievement of our nat ural resources or products. With the exception of rubber which Is grown la Africa, India or South America hut maoufactured in this country, nil the basic materials Hint go to make an automobile are produced In our midst. Steel, mohair, piate glass, nickel and lead art pot only American products. but are. together with rubber, used to a greater extent In making cars ^ than for any oilier purpose. Practically every state in the Union contributes to these materials, either In their raw state or In their manu facture. For example, our youngest and fastest growing livestock indus- ' try. that of angora goats, provides the mohair which Is used in making mo hair velvet for automobile upholstery.
